YOU JUST SAVED ME. Maybe you can't help the world, but I'm heading to the trash to dump the rest of my lunch. I'm full from 2.5 chicken strips and 5 fries, but I was reading this stuffing another fry in my mouth. Thank you!

And in my defense, I don't usually have fingers & fries for lunch but I had to spend my lunch at the DMV since they screwed up my license. My real lunch was tuna and carrots. Now I'm off to toss the remains, thanks to this one little thread.

I didn't make it to the trash; my skinny co-worker snatched the fries from me! So you did two good deeds since he's too skinny and forgot his lunch. Now he's got warm fries, so thanks from him, too.

It's good that you are climbin' back on the wagon, but you need to keep in mind that you have lost about 35 lbs in 4 months. That's not bad, you know?

Also, I've read in lots of places that your body can't really take more than 25 to 30 grams of protien at a time, so more than that is kind of a waste. You might do half shakes, or less powder in the milk at one time, you know?

Keep it up!

Krystal, I hear ya! Last night I sat down with a bag of FritoLay corn chips and a big ole glass of Water. I've actually not done this since being banded and haven't a clue why I chose last night to start. So this morning, I'm pulling myself up out of that rut I was in and vowing to be the best bandster I can be, as I know that if I don't address it now, it will become another habit I have to break later.

We're here for you if you need to talk (its hard to eat and type at the same time hehe).

Here is my problem, I am currently addicted to popcorn. Not the Plain Jane kind but movie theater with lots o butter type. What is worse than that is that is usually all I will eat the entire day. Yesterday I had one large and one mini microwave bag at one sitting for dinner last night. Unfortunately, it compresses and goes thru the band too easily. But I have given up my two or three times a day Starbucks habit. Now it is maybe twice a week. But I am not eating right at all. I know that. Help me!

I don't have a problem with pastas, breads, and meats. I don't eat them cause the WILL make me PB. I have tried baked fish. In fact, my freezer is full of them and they make me PB everytime.

Any suggestions will be very much appreciated!!!!

Krystal, good for you for coming here and asking for support and admitting to it all, thats half the battle, none of us are perfect bandsters, heck last night I ate an ice cream drumstick and resses Peanut Butter cups, I need chocolate on the day my period starts which was yesterday (TMI)

Just get back up and get back to basics, you can do this! Come here often, read, post, get the support you need. We are all here pulling for eachother to succeed.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
